In honor of my dad on Father’s day.

A very funny story I told recently at the Story Salon in North Hollywood. It’s about the first time I got acupuncture. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong, including catching my back on fire. Yep, true story.

When you’re a dad to a couple of teenage girls, everything you do is embarrassing. You can’t win. But every now and then, you can be their hero.

My mom grew up during the depression so she learned to never throw out any food. No matter how old or moldy it was, she could resuscitate it and feed it to our family. She used to say Go ahead and eat it. It won't kill you. And she was right, I have eaten some amazing things in my lifetime and it has not killed me.
